A last-minute dinner party at my place last night. On the menu, which I, obviously, did not create, was: a smoked salmon and olive appetizer, a salad with a lot of onion, shrimp (scrimps), regular salmon and brussel sprouts. I ate a ... decent amount of everything except the shrimp, which I was not going to mess with. Memories of the kale/chard soup of 2002 came flooding back.

Being an adult sucks. It's OK to only like pizza and french fries when you're in college. But 25?
